Milan's main airport, Malpensa, has been officially renamed in honour of former prime minister and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi, who died in 2023.

The decision has reignited debate over his political legacy.

Why now: The renaming is controversial because of Berlusconi's closeness to Putin and opposition from local authorities.
